TO HIS FORMER PUPIL AND ASSISTANT

PREFACE. 



In presenting this work before the profession, the author 
wishes it to be understood that it is not with any desire to 
have such condensed work supersede the study and use of the 
more complete Materia Medica ; nor is it on account of any 
supposed incorrectness or unreliability of the original works 
of Hahnemann, for these, after nearly three-fourths of a cen- 
tury of daily searching scrutiny, must be accepted as bearing 
the imprint of being wrought by a master mind — almost intu- 
itive perception having guided in the work. 

The real object in preparing this work, has been to give in 
a condensed form, to the student of Homoeopathy, such abso- 
lutely necessary material, as would enable him, in a compara- 
tively short time, to gain knowledge of such important 
leading symptoms and conditions as are characteristic of each 
remedy — knowledge which is imperatively necessary for every- 
day practice. The large and more complete works present 
by their size, if by nought else, great obstacles to the rapid 
acquirement of a practical knowledge of the genius of each 
remedy. In order to overcome this, efforts have been made 
in the past to condense the material of the larger works, giving 
what appeared strange or characteristic, even though not veri- 
fied. Clinical experience only can verify beyond peradventure 
symptoms obtained through provings ; this we are gaining 
daily, and profiting thereby. Year by year we have been 

enabled, through such experience, to separate good wheat 

(vii) 



PREFACE. viii 

from among the tares, until we have now garnered at least a 
fair percentage of good wheat — and the harvest season is not 
yet over. 

The material for this work has been culled from the manu- 
script and other material collected for a much larger work on 
verified and important symptoms, viz., " Guiding Symptoms," 
now in process of completion, on which many years of careful 
research have been bestowed. 

Objection will be made, that only one hundred and eighty - 
four remedies are herein given, while many more are in daily 
use by our School. To this we reply, that this work is in- 
tended as a text-book, a manual, not as a complete Materia 
Medica ; and though it was desirable to condense, it was also 
necessary to give the really useful symptoms sufficiently com- 
plete to make up the picture of each remedy so as to be prac- 
tically useful, thus making it impossible to give more remedies, 
without so increasing the bulk as to render the book unsuited 
to its purpose. 

Regarding the arrangement of symptoms, it will be found 
to correspond to that used in the "Analytical Therapeutics," 
for full explanation, see introduction to the same. 

This arrangement requires a division of each remedy into 
forty-eight chapters — thus, J Mind and disposition ; this con- 
tains all mental states. 2 Sensorium, embracing oversensitive- 
ness and irritability of brain and senses ; vertigo; dullness, etc. 
3 Inner head, pains, etc. 4 Outer head, giving symptoms of 
bones, periosteum, skin and hair ; also motions and positions of 
head. 5 Sight and eyes. 6 Hearing and ears. 7 Smell and 
nose. 8 Face, including expression, etc. 9 Lower jaw, outer 
mouth, chin, and sub-maxillary glands. 10 Teeth and gums. 
11 Taste, talking and tongue. 12 Inner mouth. 13 Palate and

throat. 14 Desire for food and drink. 15 Effects of food and 
drink. 16 Gastric symptoms. 17 Epigastric region. 18 Hypo- 
chondria. 19 Abdomen. 20 Eectum and anus, including emis- 
sion of flatus, stools, hemorrhoids. 21 Urinary organs and 
urine. 22 Male functions and organs. 23 Female organs. 
24 Pregnancy and parturition, including mammae ; also infants 
at the breast. 25 Voice and larynx. 2<J Respiration. 27 Cough. 
28 Inner chest and lungs. 29 Heart and circulation. 30 Outer 
chest. 31 Keck and back. 32 Upper limbs. 33 Lower limbs. 
34 All the limbs. 35 Rest, motion and position ; modalities will 
be indexed so as to refer to chapter number. 36 Nerves ; this 
chapter embraces symptoms pertaining more especially to the 
nervous system. 37 Sleep and dreams. 38 Times of day, in- 
dexed. 39 Temperature and weather, indexed. 40 Chill, fever 
and sweat. 41 Attacks and periodicity, indexed. 42 Sides and 
relation to space, indexed. 43 Sensations — in this chapter only 
such have been placed as do not properly belong to any other 
chapter, avoiding repetitions wherever possible. 44 Tissues — in 
a work of this character but little need be said on this subject. 
In the " Guiding Symptoms " much more prominence will be 

given thereto. 45 Passive motion, contact, injuries, etc. 
46 Skin. 47 Stages of life, constitution, diathesis, dyscrasia. 

48 Relationship with other drugs. For convenience and to save 

space, some of these headings have been shortened, throughout 

the work. 

Feeling that every care has been bestowed on the text of this 
w T ork, that it might prove a reliable manual for the use of both 
student and practitioner, it is now submitted to the profession. 

The thanks of the author are due Dr. C. G. Raue, for his 
careful and systematic arrangement of the mind symptoms.
